Two Teens Labeled Sex Offenders For Life After Bullying Incident

U missed something about this case while one boy sat on another “younger” boys face the other older boy forced his penis in the 11 yr olds mouth! Sorry but that is not horseplay, take it from a mom whose son was bullied and tormented all through school and it never stated they were classmates, 11 or 12 is fifth or sixth grade so more than likely they all werent even in the same school

You shouldn’t be labeled a sexual offender just for being an ass.

When I went to high school the big thing was isometric sit ups. They blindfold you by holding a towel over your face and holding you down. They claim you won’t be able to do a sit up when they let go of the towel. Of course you can and there is a dude squatted over you with his ass and nutsack in your face and you do the situp right into his crack. They tried that on me, but luckily I was suspicious and didn’t do the sit up. It was a pretty shitty view when they  unblindfolded me, though.

Forcing your wiener and bum hole on another’s mouth? Definitely nothing sexual about that!

Yeah, if they did insert a penis(or try to) into the mouth of one that does change things a bit. It does move from becoming horseplay to sexual assault.  While their intent might not have been sexual gratification, it wouldn’t change the fact the the victim that it was sexual in nature. While not the same it reminds of the cases where boys forcibly insert something into the ass of another and cry “horseplay” while the the adults cry “boys will be boys”  Last time I checked inserting anything into a persons orifice against their will is rape.

Now if the penis in mouth thing is just a rumor, then yeah this is a little harsh.

it’s not a rumor..another site i read yesterday had the charges..that is where the “sexual gratification” part came in..no pun intended

i wish i could find the article…it stated that words were spoken as this was done..i’m guessing a sexual type thing was said while trying to do this and that is why they are charged..seriously i’d like to hear from the victims..and if i was a victim of such i would speak out because this is bullshit that they are getting pity from alot of different places for what they are charged with when it is what they should be charged with..again i’ll say i bet this isn’t the first time..only the first time they got told on

a friend of mine told me about her friend in NC that uses a home daycare..this womans 3 yr old was in the tub washing herself and tried to put the soap inside herself…her mother asked why are you doing that and the little girl…just 3 says .. “steve” (madeup name) puts the broomstick in there and tells me that i cry like a baby when he does it…and it hurts so he puts soap there…

the “steve” is the Home daycare owners 11 yr old son…i saw her facebook page..and i have to say she had about 9 kids of all different ages and used her son to help watch the kids…therefore who the hell knows how many victims he has had..the little girl was examined and she was truly abused…this is one of those types of “kids” that will not even be charged due to h is age but more than likely will go on to create more victims…

the scary thought i had is what if he pushed too hard with that broom stick and perforated her intestines .. the wall of her uterus or something .. she would have died of sepsis…then we would be reading about him on here

There is no reason for a 14-year-old kid who put his ass on the face of another kid in a bullying incident to register the same as a man who raped a 4-year-old.

i never said it did..i’m just stating a case that involves a young boy that did these things….can i not have an opinion and what i stated was in another article..if i find it i will indeed post it..teabagging is the balls btw not the penis…

just because you didn’t read the same article doesn’t mean it didn’t happen and the judge did not say it was not a sexual gratification reason..where does it say that? i’m sorry but sticking your penis in someones mouth..screw that .. it’s sexual or do you just go around sticking your privates in anyones mouth just to say hello?

One of the boys went to trial and the judge found him guilty of criminal sexual contact.  The law states an act is criminal sexual contact if it’s done for sexual gratification or to degrade or humiliate the victim and the judge felt the kid’s actions fit the bill.

maybe you should comprehend the writing of your own article..it states the above “Guilty of criminal sexual contact. The law states an act is criminal sexual contact if it’s done for sexual gratification…

therefore the judge found him guilty of doing it for sexual gratification..

ps. if you wouldn’t have been so rude in your response i would not have been either..i read your site daily .. and respect your opinion .. why not respect one of your fans opinions…

A friend of mine told me that a friend of her friend’s friend…………… must be a true story.

i actually have names and all would you like them so you can look at the little boys face that did this? not that i would give that info…my good friend asked my opinion because i know some LE and a detective or two and i have alot of contacts online out of state..which is where this happened..she also needed resources such as licensing bureau for home daycares in South Carolina .. which i gave her..and i spoke to a connection i have on facebook about such things as i am a child abuse awareness advocate..so screw you asswipe

asshole..my son is an adult and since when do victims learn to be victims from their moms? really … “they learn that kind of thing” seriously that’s a fucked up statement that a 6 yr old learns to be bullied by others because of mom..if that’s you in the pic it looks like a fucking mugshot

geesh you are from my area…North Bergen?

First you call me asswipe because I didn’t believe your relayed story about your friend’s friend of a friend.  Now you call me an asshole because I responded to your attack.  Yeah, I’m assuming that your child has picked up on your daily behavior which is probably what led to other kids not liking him.  ALso why talk about my pic, is it because I’m not hiding my imagine and pretending that I’m an imaginery baby on someone’s finger.  I think you got lost a long time ago in that fantasy world of yours.  Sad to someone lose touch with reality.

Ah yes MY area.

Ah yes MY area.

Here we go with the maybes.  Anyone that gives maybe situations to support their argument, has no argument.  (Maybe these kids will be more scarred by the parents blowing this out of proportion and turn into serial killers when they get older) – < See any maybe situation can be twisted to fit ANY argument.  Maybe Santa Claus is real and just likes to be near kids.  Let's hang anyone in a Santa costume.  frickin batty.

So, just wondering.. but, what if the victims had been female? Would that still be just bullying? If not, why would it be just bullying because the victims were boys?

Not saying I think they need life time S.O. status, because I don’t know these boys histories to make a judgment call on it. My thought is, if they have done this on more than one occasion then there is definitely a problem with said “bullies” and they shouldn’t go ignored, even the one time thing that I know of is rather disturbing and disgusting but repeated actions scream that they would need “watched” for good.

I just don’t understand the appeal at their ages of wanting their butts or penis on another persons face. That’s just not funny at ANY age.

The appeal is that it is humiliating to the victim and asserting the “power” of the bully over them. To them that is a thrill. The whole “boys will be boys” thought process is a very dangerous one. It not only enforces the behavior but also makes it harder for victims to come forward.
  

Ummm, this is exactly why emotions shouldn’t be used when arguing about assinine laws. Especially when someone chooses to use their personal experiences. I, too, think these boys should be punished…but sex offenders for life? Great idea, throw them to the wolves. Come ON. I thought 14 year olds are only kids and not capable of understanding things sexual in nature yet? *eyeroll*

Ahh, but wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if we could?  *sarcasm button*

No…you included the “or” part of the statute and then went on to ignore it. THAT is what Morbid was saying about reading comprehension, that they were convicted on the SECOND part of the statute about degrading and humiliating the victim. The fact they were convicted does not by definition guarantee it was done for sexual gratification or even that the judge thought so. It says “OR.”

The “or” also contributes heavily to this being such a sloppy mess of a law.

wish i could find the link i read it yesterday in a link of prior articles on this most recent one…why do you think though that the judges (a panel of three) stated there was a sexual connotation?

that’s why at the age they are it should be reviewed and monitored every so often to see if they should be removed..i think lawmakers are asshats..after all making up laws then not fine tuning them at a later date..nothing should be written in stone..each case is so different…ok like age of consent..if it’s 16 and a 15 yr old girl has sex it should matter the age difference between the two consenting parties…if it’s a 15 yr old boy that’s ridiculous..but if it’s a 30 yr old with a 15 yr old..idk

you have something there..ok i agree..my reading comp sucks butt nevertheless the law is what it is..and if no one changes it then more teenagers will be convicted and placed on the registry…one thing though i’d rather hear from the victims in this case instead of the perpetrators…their lawyers opinions don’t carry weight with me .. but the victim statements would..if they came out and said anonymously that they felt it was horseplay then fine..but their silence even through attorneys tells me they did not feel it was horseplay

Yep, we lost two model citizens right there because of that law. Now the cure for cancer will never be found!

You’re very pretty.

I get your confusion. Like how is it ok to label 14 year olds sex offenders, yet if they have sex with someone over 18 that person will be arrested? However, if the 14 year olds did commit a more vicious sexual attack I would agree with the charges. There’s such a fine line between everything. It really gets quite frustrating to think about, lol

I keep reading LE, LE, LE in this site. What does LE stand for!?

RUN! That’s what Ghetto Wannabe Rapper Trolls look like!

You’re HAWT!

I’m not gay, but I’d tap that.

I was not aware that the lack of believe in a statement was considered provocation, curious.

aww thanks guys…i have a bully success story if you wanna hear it .. has nothing to do with this case of course but…

i was bullied..i grew up in Ohio til i was in 2nd grade came to passaic, Nj .. i had a birthmark (mole) on my right cheek..nothing huge..anyway i was very shy..living with my bio monster (mom) for the first time in my entire life..i’d never met her…anyway..i was bullied everyday..it started from that birthmark..which i couldn’t help or cover up…there were 3 boys that specifically bullied me up til 6th grade

i moved to paterson and never had contact again, when i was 18 and preggers with my son i worked at First Fidelity Visa in Newark and was walking across the street to go to my apt .. when i heard someone calling my name.. weird cause i knew no one in the area..i turn to see this man come up to me, i knew right away who he was even though i hadn’t seen him since i was like 11 or something…he was one of the boys and the first thing out of his mouth was ‘i’m sorry for how we treated you” turned out he and the other 2 stayed in touch all those yrs and discussed many times how bad they felt about me…weird thing is i felt bad for them

lmao i agree.

naked asses? now a days with these skanky ass teens you have to be worried about an std! jesus christ – it’s a bare ass, on your face… you’re held down against your will – as far as i’m concerned that’s as bad as rape.

great day to have a vagina, eh?

men. pffft. it’s why i hate them. if my husband wasn’t practically a woman already – it’d of never worked out.

Finally someone is taking bullying seriously! Maybe the assholes will learn to leave ppl alone!

lol i was 18 when i had my son, the mole is a pissy story. It took me until i was 21 or so to finally get some self esteem back and to actually be quite comfortable with it being there and suddenly it started to “change” it was melanoma..no plastic surgery for me they had to dig it out .. it was 2 inches into my face and cancerous but they got it out in time..i was seeing a dermatologist for an entire year that kept giving me ointment, finally i had a gynecologist send me for the removal…ugh i have a 1 inch scar on my right cheek..you can barely see it…lol was i 10 lol,

is this  a mole joke? lol i forgot the next school i went to for 7th and 8th i was bullied for my big boobs lol that was even worse cause i def couldn’t hide them lol

Pike, I am stealing your first line for my facebook status – thanks for the laugh!

Pictures or you’re lying. *raises eyebrows up and down*

No, Hal Turner is a boob.  He just so happens to live close by.

THANK YOU!!!  As Morbid stated, reading comprehension.  Also, Veronica looks like a very lovely man in that pic so it’s probably already confused enough.

just kidding those aren’t mine…mine were 34DD in middle school..it seemed they grew over nite..and 34JJ by the time my son was born, i had corrective surgery (reduction) when i was 21 also…

If you lied I would have believed you… right after I got done motor-boating my screen, pretending those boobies are right in front of me… damn… Just edit that shit and tell me they’re yours. Please.

It seems the commentors have missed or ignored what I consider to be the most disturbing part of this story…

“Although we are not unsympathetic to the arguments criticizing the application of the lifelong registration requirements in (Megan’s Law) to 14-year-old offenders, we are bound to uphold such application because that outcome is mandated by the Legislature.’’ 

The second we undermine a judge’s ability to exercise judgment over individual cases, we have undermined the entire justice system.  

We employ judges because, over the course of their careers, they have exercised trustworthy and exceptionally good judgment (in most cases, of course).  If this was not a necessary element of a fair and just system, we would simply have lists of mandatory sentences and some computer system to dole them out.  But we NEED judges to determine when the standard punishment is too harsh (or, conversely, too light).  When we disable their ability to do this, we’ve negated their entire purpose.

Morbid couldn’t be more right – we should all be concerned about knee-jerk, emotionally-driven legislation named after a victim.  The legislators involved never consider all the consequences, so you wind up with situations like this.  Two children who will find it near impossible to get an education or decent jobs, who will have been turned into drains on society because a judge’s hands were tied a court was disallowed to meter out an appropriate sentence.

This is not smart or helpful.

Maybe they just need a douchebag law where you have to register as a douche for the rest of your life. 

There’s nothing that I can add to this conversation so I’ll just say that I love the Breakfast Club references. It’s in my top 5 favorite movies.

I say Laaaa,
La la la laaaa
la la la laaaaa
la la la, la, la la la la laaaaa

nah not me…i’ve had tons of last names .. actually 5 .. none with a p or z’s lol

I must admit that post was not well thought out (shame on me). As I glance around the room I see 3 who should be on the list…

I have to agree. These kids were going nowhere fast. I suspect they’ll win their appeal, but anyone who would do this isn’t exactly going to be mining the moon in twenty years anyway.

judging by your picture …. you missed a few spots when you were gluing hair to your face. specifically your whole chin ….. puberty is a bitch! is she not?

WAIT! WAIT! let me judge my picture. i aspire to be a handgun! in the process of being sodomized by a cross. damn i’m good.

BUT THEY’RE CHIIIIILDREEEN!!!!!!!!!

the end results of sex are the same no matter how you want to slice them – be it pregnancy or std’s. i used pregnancies epidemic as proof of the result of teens having sex, sorry but 14 and 16 make no difference to me.

and you are aware you can get sexually transmitted diseases without ever sticking your penis in the LOLHOLE, correct??

if these kids had warts, herpes, or even a case of fucking crabs … it could have presented a problem.

You know what’s funny Domino – I have NEVER noticed the gun.  Not once.  I just saw the cross. 

hm, I have a poncho on in the rain so I must be a wigga.  Your racism knows no bounds.  How do you walk around not bumping into things with your head shoved so far up your ass?

^Someone has absolutely ZERO African-American friends.  How is that redneck of yours?  Maybe you can have your husband/cousin take a look for you.

If he is YOUR husband the rest of us already guessed he would be more woman than man.  Great day to have a vagina…….that is not filled with sand as is your case..

that’s it? the you’re a racist card? c’mon patches you have got to bring it harder than that. you’re soiling your street cred yo!!!

oh, and btw – i’ll get to working on my racial spectrum of friend’s to prove how cultured and street i am. surely you could give me some tips?

Common Core of Facts

On the afternoon of November 26, 2008, a group of sixth grade

boys rode their bicycles to a nearby food market where

they bought sodas and snacks. As they left the store, one of

the boys (identified here as W.R.) picked up a scooter that was

“placed in front of the [market.]” At this point, a group of

older eighth-grade boys consisting of James, Daniel, and two

others approached the sixth-graders.

According to W.R., James asked him: “Why are you stealing

my scooter?”

When W.R. denied he was trying to steal the

scooter, James told him: “Drop and give me ten,” which W.R.

understood to mean he had to do ten push-ups.

When W.R. did not

comply, the older boys pushed him up against a small shed. At

this point, an unidentified woman came out of the store and

asked what was happening. James told the woman that W.R. had

stolen his scooter and his dog; Daniel told her that W.R. had

“killed his family.” The woman then went back inside the store.

The physical confrontation escalated from this point. W.R.

testified that the four older boys “picked [him] up and carried

[him] across the street . . . [to a] flag pole by the fire

station.” The boys again told W.R. to “drop and give me ten.”

W.R. asked: “Will you stop?” to which one of the older boys

allegedly responded: “Yes.” Convinced the taunting would stop,

W.R. complied and performed ten push-ups.

After W.R. completed doing the push-ups, the older boys

challenged W.R. and his three sixth-grade companions to a

basketball game.

Although the precise terms of the match are

unclear, James told a state investigator that if the younger

boys won, the older boys would jump in the nearby river; if the

older boys won, they would “beat up” the younger boys. James

told the investigator, however, that he and his fellow eighth graders

were “just kidding” about beating up the sixth-graders,

and that they “thought [the younger boys] knew we were

[kidding].” W.R. believed that if the younger boys won, the

older boys would stop bothering them. The older boys won.

After the basketball game ended, W.R and his fellow sixth graders

noticed the older boys talking in a group. Suspecting

that “something was up,” W.R. and the rest of the sixth-graders

ran away; the older boys gave chase. James eventually caught up

with a sixth-grader identified here as O.D. James told O.D. the

older boys would stop bothering the younger boys if O.D. stuck

his face in the nearby river “for a few seconds.” O.D.

testified that he did this because he was scared.

W.R. testified that after O.D. stuck his head in the river,

an eighth-grader identified as S.H. got on top of W.R.,

physically holding him down, punching him, head-butting him,

slapping him, and making him say things like “I like chodes up

the butt.” W.R. gave the following description of what occurred

next:

PROSECUTOR: At some point, did [James]

approach your area?

A. Yes.

Q. And when he approached your area, what

did he do?

A. They told him to put his butt in my

face.

Q. Okay. They told him. Who told him?

A. [Daniel]. [Daniel] told them.

Q. [Daniel] told [James] to put his butt

in your face?

A. Yes.

Q. And did [James] do that?

A. Yes. Well, he put — at first he

farted in my face.

Q. Okay. So first he farted in your face.

And then did he put his butt in your

face?

A. Yes.

Q. Did he put his bare butt in your face?

A. Yes.

Q. And how did he put his bare butt in

your face?

A. He — [S.R.] was holding me down, so I

couldn’t move. So he kind of pulled

part of his pants down and sat on me,

sat on my face.

Q. Okay. With his bare butt?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay. At any point did any other part

of his crotch area touch your face?

A. Yes.

Q. What part?

A. He put his penis in, like there, in my

mouth.

Q. Okay.

THE COURT: Indicating –

Q. Can you show the judge?

THE COURT: Yeah. Okay, Did it go into

the mouth? Or touch the lips?

[W.R.] It — just the lips.

THE COURT: Touched the lips? Or –

well, you’re putting your finger inside

your mouth.

[W.R.] Well –

THE COURT: And I want to know if –

[W.R.] Like, the lips, the lips.

THE COURT: Did it go in –

[W.R.] No.

THE COURT: Just on the outside of the

lips, or the inside of the lips?

[W.R.] Kind of the inside the lips [sic].

Q. Before this happened, before his penis

touched your mouth, did you hear

anybody say anything?

A. Like telling him to do?

Q. Well, did you hear anybody tell [James]

to do that?

A. Yes.

Q. Who?

A. [Daniel].

Q. Okay. And when [Daniel] told [James]

that, did he do it?

A. Yes.

[(Emphasis added).]

In addition to seeing what happened to W.R., sixth-grader

A.N. also witnessed James commit similar offenses against O.D.

In response to the prosecutor’s questions, A.N. gave the

following account of what he saw:

PROSECUTOR: Was [O.D.] struggling when

[James] put his bare butt in his face?

A. Yes.

Q. And actually sat on his face with his

bare butt?

A. He didn’t put all of his force on his

face. He was just on top of it.

Q. On top, but touching it with his butt?

A. I don’t — it wasn’t touching. He was

like hovering over. He was moving, and it

might have touched him when he was moving.

Q. And with [James], did he put his bare

butt in [W.R.'s] face?

A. Yes.

[(Emphasis added).]

According to A.N., while James and Daniel were committing

these acts, the other eighth-graders laughed and carried on

without any apparent concern or alarm. O.D. testified that

after it was over and he and the rest of the sixth-grade boys

were heading for their bicycles, James walked up to the boys and

offered them ten dollars in return for “not [] tell[ing] on us

and stuff.”

At the time these events occurred, O.D.’s older sister E.D.

and James were classmates. She testified that later that same

day James called her and asked her if O.D. “was a tattletale.”

When E.D. inquired further, James told her that he “had rubbed

his bare butt in [her] brother’s face after he had put his face

in the water down by the river.” James asked E.D. not to tell

her mother about this incident. James later text messaged E.D.

asking her whether O.D. had told his mother and whether the

mother intended to report the incident to the police. E.D.

responded: “Maybe.”

They bullied them. They did not perform these actions for sexual gratification. They teabagged the boys just like kids are doing to each other right now while playing Halo. They were kids being assshole and bullies who deserved to be punished, not treated as child molesters for the rest of their lives.

what pieces of fucking shit. they can keep their sex offender titles until the day they fucking die.

just because the american jesus doesn’t recognize the ass as a sexual organ and only seems to care if it’s the penis – difference, see none. both are used. both are capable of carrying diseases. they’re just as sexual as the other.

if they simply wanted to humiliate him.. smear dog poop on his face, push him in the mud, make him do push ups …. the second you bring nakedness, asses, penis and what have you into it, it’s a sexual matter deserving of a severe punishment. a punishment such as the one their perverted, twisted little fuck ups.

Hmm…where have I seen this before…

Oh yeah.

Crazy, huh? The stars of Jackass do it on television and the movies, it’s a move used in video games after killing someone, and wrestling stars do it in sold out arenas. Two 14-year-olds do it while bullying some kids, and people here are happy to see them labeled as sex offenders for their entire life. Fucking stupid.

I was a freshman in H.S when I was 14 and my best friend who was into other things, such as hardcore drugs and MUCH older men, contracted chlamydia.  It wasn’t a big deal in our school either, it was more of a big fuss when I stated I did not know what that was or how to get it, and they found out I was a virgin.  Yes, I am a female. 

That’s bullshit. Also, the way you guys keep exaggerating what was actually done, it won’t be long before you all will be saying he throat fucked the boy before fisting his asshole.

The sex offender registry, and the laws that place people on them, are not made for this type of scenario. They were not created to ruin juvenile’s lives because they mimicked something they see almost everyday on television that wasn’t even sexual in nature, to bully another kid.

They certainly weren’t created so that kids could be made an example of and scare others with the perils of bullying. That completely undermines and dilutes what the sex offender registry is all about, rendering it totally impotent and more ineffective than it is already.

The way you guys are acting, you would have no problem at all if the list, used to protect children from actual child predators, was full of kids who streaked at a ballgame or played a porno in Walmart.

Again, completely, utterly asinine.

Exactly right Morbid. The POINT of these laws is not to be a punishment – it is designed to be a tool to keep track of dangerous predators. Because our judicial system can’t keep these predators behind bars, they came up with this system to A) keep track of the pervs, and B) allow the public to know if there is a threat in their neighborhood.

To allow this tool to be used to destroy people who pee in the park, or 19 year old’s who are screwing their 16 year old girlfriend is ridiculous. Maybe those people will be a threat SOMEDAY, but that is not the purpose of the SOR. By including all those “maybe” cases, it only serves to cheapen the registry. How can anyone take it seriously when a local scan brings up 50 SO’s in a small little town? Probably only 2 of them are really threats and ones we should beware of, but unless you are vigilant (or vigilante!) enough to actually sit down, research their “crime” and map them out, you will never know. So the list is pretty much pointless as a public safety prevention tool, but pretty effective in destroying the lives of some unlucky shlubs.

This is yet another example of a good idea gone stupid.

1.  Why do fucktards like you *always* pick on someone’s userpic when you can’t defend yourselves otherwise?

2.  I will never get enough of the irony that flows when fucktards like you write/type “your ignorant”.

No, the law is quite specific. In order to be charged with criminal sexual contact, the contact had to be to the offender’s sexual gratification or to humiliatedemean the victim. The judge felt that what the teen’s did fit that last half so they were convicted on the criminal sexual contact charge. That part isn’t even the real issue.

The real issue is that had they been able to judge, as Athena pointed out, they could have charged the teens with criminal sexual contact and then punished the teens in a manner that more fit the crime. 

But because of Megan’s Law, and the fact that it wasn’t that well thought out when it was implemented, they had no choice but to order them to register as sex offenders and stay that way until they die. They had no choice. That’s why laws like these are so dangerous and the proposed Caylee’s Law is as well. They are knee-jerk responses…not thought out ones — exactly like some of the comments here.

I don’t think I, personally, exaggerated anything? Te article stated the kid had another kid sit on him with a bare ass in his face and POSSIBLY had genetalia come into contact with his mouth. I understand the point wasn’t to sexually assault the boy(s), but to humiliate them in the “spirit” of bullying and the old “boys will be boys”, but at what point does it stop being bullying and go to far? Had you been the judge, and had Megan’s Law not been applicable, what punishment would you have given them? I can see you feel very passionate about this so I’m genuinely curious what you think would be an appropriate outcome.

You’ve featured stories on here about children killing themselves because they can’t take being bullied anymore. What can be done to stop it other than handing out harsh punishments for bullying? Parents can take a more active role but come on, we all know that parents can tell their kids not to do something until they’re blue in the face but ultimately, the majority of kids will do what they want anyways, especially when there’s peer pressure involved and a kid is being egged on by their friends to sit bare assed on a weaker kid’s face.

On a side note, some of the other commenters have brought up a good point: what if these boys had done this to a girl? Would this punishment be justified then?

I don’t care how ineffective megan’s law was statistically found to be/not to be. 
It’s not fucking much to ask for them to report their living situations, since they are released upon us, like invisible sharks wearing lazerbeam helmets, and the public are like sheep that are half retarded, all giddy on “not in my backyard”, and “he’s a nice guy” statements….

You getting bullied has nothing to do with these bullies being placed on a sex offender registry. Eric and Dylan were not bullied, btw.

My thoughts on the story are…..I um….. boobs.

I am doing a research project about bullies and victims right now, and one thing that needs to be kept in mind is that, just as there are warning signs for bullies, there are warning signs for victims. Just as bullies may come from abusive households, victims are generally set up for victimhood by their environment, and the level of familial support they receive exacerbates or relieves their victim status.

Before anyone starts freaking out about blaming the victim, consider that if we can prevent victims, the problem is solved! All research indicates that bullies bully because they have a victim. Unlike a rapist who will find any available (and desirable) target, a bully will only target specific kids who are in a way, an equal emotional (if not willing) partner in the event. If the target doesn’t cry, hide, run away, etc. then the bully will not continue. So, it makes sense to teach the victims how to stop being victims, at the same time addressing the bullies.

Learn to read Housecat, she started with my pic.  I didn’t start on hers till after she commented on my pic.  Sorry i used the wrong your, here let me correct that for you.  *you’re. As for calling me a “fucktard”, this is the level of intelligence I would expect from a moron like you.  Be glad I can’t slap you around over the internet boy.  Honestly, look at the time stamps of the comments.  I am not “picking” on anyone until I am addressed by idiots like you that aren’t even involved in the conversation.  As a matter of fact if you can’t keep up with the conversation maybe we should just sit you at the kiddie’s table.

I think women like chubzilla are under the impression that just because in school other kids were having sex and nobody even looked at her that her excuse became that she was afraid of STD’s.  However the truth was she had no friends, she made up stories about an imaginary 11 year old she “knew”, and everyone else had a bet that her ugly ass would die a virgin.

Precisely.

Why not just give them the death penalty then?

We use retributive justice in the US, and that basically states that the punishment must fit the crime. Of course the victim children felt violated, and of course the bullies must be punished (AND treated), but complete, inflexible, lifetime punishment for a nasty prank just does not fit the crime.

The victims should also be entitled to have counseling and therapy to help them get over the feelings of violation, and to deal with whatever underlying emotional issues allowed them to become targets of the bully.

You said that you were a victim as a child. Would you rather have had justice for being victimized or therapy to help you get over it? If you are really honest, you would pick the option that lets you get past your anger and feelings of vulnerability. Punishing the offenders doesn’t change ANYTHING in the victim’s mind, and the anger that festers from being the victim can destroy their life as well.  

Several years of community service, served by scrubbing roadside rest area’s toilets, would both educate and deter anyone from ever again putting bare asses near faces, or faces near where bare asses have recently been, IMO. 

TP[, TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!

boobs…

I run teabaggers over with a scorpion tank, then they moan and bitch, then i kill them with everyweapon on the map and a warthog. then they leave crying..

I find that Punishment, quite Appropriate..

You are a fucking idiot. 

When did I ever say these boys should not feel violated? When did I ever say they should just laugh it off? When did I ever say the bullies should not be punished? Or that they shouldn’t be charged?

ah heh heh… I’m Beavis though.

I had some similar shit pulled on me when I was in school.  I kicked the kid in the nuts as he walked away, and when I reported him for ass-facing me he got suspended for an entire month.  When the suspension ended, I got to make small penis jokes at him if he ever gave me trouble again. 
Now an adult, said bully got in touch with me a few years back.  He apologized a lot for everything.  Told me that remembering that time in his life made him feel like a huge asshole and embarrassed him greatly.  Said his supposedly upstanding nice father was actually a covert abusive drunk that made his life hell, and since he couldn’t do anything to his dad he took it out on everyone else.  The ex-bully was going around pretty much apologizing to everyone he fucked with.  I have no hard feelings toward him at all now.  His change in attitude was astounding.

People change.  These two teens won’t get the chance to do what my bully did.  Being a sex offender is a social and economic death sentence.  It pretty much guarantees that both boys will be unable to go to college, get a job, or even live in a city (depending on local laws).  What they did was fucking awful, which I know since it happened to ME.  But being a sex offender FOR LIFE is fucking insane.  Punish the hell out of them, maybe with something like assault charges but keep them off the sex offender rolls. 
The wording of Megan’s Law ensures that a bunch of people are going to have utterly ruined lives over actions that don’t warrant sex offender status.
And the infuriating part is that when you point to that fact, you get dogpiled and labled a molestation enabling uber-monster.

Kid needs the crap beat out of him, but it shouldn’t be in court. If anything, the responsible parties should be the parents who let these kids roam around like primordial savages. Small wonder they go all “Lord of the Flies” on piggy here.

She looks sort of like Satansbuddy.

I leave for six days to go work, and this thread goes to hell in a handbag! What the hell? See what happens when I’m not around to calm things down.:P

For the record, I agree with Morbid on this. These kids are assholes, but life as a sex offender is too harsh.

Back from Peeling Logs and Squeezing Moose!

ive been betting on long lost Twins.. Got her pic on my Wall

Hush Clown, Dont scare her away!

They Need a Good Working over with a Taser.. How was Work Pike?

I’ll bet Emilio Estavez would be pissed if he knew his face ended up on a DD article. I could understand if it was his brother, Charlie Sheen. Charlie has become DD material, that’s for sure.

They got what they deserved whether penis was involved or not. Naked ass on someone’s face is more than just playing around. The kids whose faces were smothered in ass were probably not laughing. They were probably feeling degraded and humiliated, which as the judge stated fits the bill. I guess if they’re registered as sex  offenders they might think twice before taking advantage of younger kids (or anyone else) from now on.
